the president to agree to serious reform to tax reform the biggest driver of the nation's debt. he wants to hire tax revenue and taxes on the rich. he has speak ennothing of entitlement. unreasonable? you bet. on top of it boehner is on attack for being a weak negotiator from the right. he is not a weak negotiator. he has a weak hand. kelly wright is live in washington. hi, kelly. >> good morning to you ainsley. someone would hope so. three weeks from now americans will be celebrating a brand new year but it may be a year unof uncertainty if the white house fail to take action to avert the fiscal crisis or the cliff. president obama tock his message on the road speaking to auto workers to talk about the plan to cut taxes that will go into effect on january 1st if congress fails to act.

look, the fact of the matter is under the rules of the senate any one center can almost place a halt and often times they do. >> is it likely both sides the president and the speak he were are going to have to twist arms, they are going to have to call people. they are going to do anything they can to push this deal over the line. >> keep in mind christmas is coming and the president and members of congress would like to certainly get this matter behind so they can enjoy the holidays which adds of course more pressure on lawmakers getting something done. thank you, kelly. over to you, heather. >> thank you so much. now to stories you can baipg on this morning. there is good news on the job front. more people are getting work this holiday season. there is a problem with that. that's because the jobs may not be permanent. lauren simonetti explains. i feel like we hear this story again and again. >> the seasonal hiring numbers. the holidays are a great time to
